Reader Reviews
Ever think there are just "too many beads?" This book makes "real" jewelry in my opinion! Karin uses the simplest available supplies and summarizes her basic techniques (pg.89) Any beginner will succeed. I think the Rosette Bracelet (pg.46) and the 3'n'3 Link Bracelet (pg.50) are handsome and professional. Her secret is linking together jump rings, of all things. And her Mother's Bracelet on pg.76 uses spacers as a design element. Remember the Grandmas out there! My own favorite bracelet has the initials of my three grandchildren, small stones for their birth months, lots of spacers and closes with a perfect heart toggle. It was a loving Christmas gift. Guess who made that one? Not me! My daughter, Karin - the author. Proud Mom
